“The purest example of a lolcow I can think of is actually someone from way before the Internet, namely Florence Foster Jenkins. Jenkins, or Lady Florence as she liked to be called, was an American soprano who attracted a cult following in New York City during the 1920s, '30s and '40s due to her being such a terrible singer that people went to her concerts essentially for the lols. She was described as "The world's worst opera singer. "No one, before or since, "has succeeded in liberating themselves quite "so completely from the shackles of musical notation." Behold this f*cking camp queen.”
